Thanks! > I just wish we could get rid of the redundant changelog in the > spec file. That's a bit of a struggle, as there are times when you want something in the scm changelog that isn't really appropriate for the rpm changelog, like fixing a typo in the specfile between build attempts. We do provide the clog facility so that one can re-use the spec changelog for the SCM changelog when appropriate. I've also explored a bit using a %include directive to include contents from a changelog file, one that might be auto-generated from source control, but I didn't go very far with it. Basically I view the scm changelog as data that is relevant and important to your fellow maintainers, where as the rpm changelog is data that is relevant and important to the rpm consumers. While there is some overlap, they are not the same consumers. > > Oh, and the ability to push builds to bohdi while sitting comfortably in > our shell sessions would also be great. > As another has mentioned, there is an "update" target for fedpkg. Luke Macken ported the code that was in the Make system in CVS. I believe it still has some rough edges but should work. If there is something deficient there, please to file a ticket and we'll look at improving it. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
